The Divorce Papers Between Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Have Been Signed
In response to a post that asserted Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have divorced, thousands of people who use Facebook have shared their opinions on the state of the royal couple’s marriage.
“SHOCK TO THE MEDIA! The divorce papers between Harry and Meghan have now been signed by both of them, “the message, uploaded to a page known as Micall monuz on June 16th, reads.
The post features a video approximately nine minutes long and details why the couple’s marriage is supposedly failing, including that Meghan’s control over Harry “made him feel suffocated and want to run away.” The post has received more than 900 shares and 4,000 comments in just over a week.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Harry, the Duke, have been candid about the difficulties they’ve had in their marriage, particularly the friction resulting from their choice to reduce their involvement in royal duties and relocate to the United States.
On the other hand, as many commenters have pointed out, there is no evidence to back up this allegation. There has been no indication, either from Harry and Meghan themselves or any news outlet, that they have divorced or are about to split.

There Is No Indication That The Duke And Duchess Have Separated
Independent fact-checking outlets such as PolitiFact and Check Your Fact have both reported that the idea that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are seeking a divorce is without foundation.
There has been no confirmation from any reputable news outlet or royal family member that Prince Harry and Meghan are planning to file for divorce. Even on the only social media profile the couple maintains together, an Instagram account with the handle @sussexroyal, there is no sign of a breakup.
The post on Facebook that made this assertion does not provide any proof to support it, and the position contradicts itself. The post stated that the couple had signed divorce papers in the video’s title; however, the video itself says there is no solid evidence to substantiate the allegation that they had done so.
According to the video’s narrator, reports in the media that the divorce papers have been signed are nothing more than rumours. “The royal pair has not yet confirmed their engagement. However, analysts believe that they may be concealing it or that it may occur very soon.”
Recently, the couple was seen making public appearances at events such as the Platinum Jubilee, which honoured Queen Elizabeth II for reaching the milestone of 70 years of the monarchy. They were photographed walking into St. Paul’s Cathedral hand in hand, which was captured on camera.
Final Words
According to the findings of our investigation, the allegation that Prince Harry and Meghan have signed divorce papers has a rating of FALSE from us. Any reliable source has not reported that the couple is divorced or is making plans to divorce.
The only source for the allegation is a Facebook page, which, in the video that accompanied the post, stated that it is “only a rumour” and that the couple has not confirmed it. This is the only source for the claim.
